I was told I should have ET 15 in the rear instead of 11.
Any thoughts? |

ET+11 or +15 will work. +15 is the most common. I have ET +15 16x9 and 245/45 tires on my car with 14mm spacers, which gives them a net offset of +1. Are you sure of the +11 because i've only seen that on 16x8.

You are talking about a 4 mm difference!! That is like 1/8th inch and will not hurt anything.
